Flea & Tick Control FAQs

Get answers about flea and tick prevention, identification, and treatment

QUESTION:Can I have fleas without pets?

ANSWER:Yes! Fleas can infest homes without pets. Previous pet owners may have left flea eggs that hatch months later. Wildlife like raccoons, squirrels, or stray cats near your home can introduce fleas. Fleas can also hitchhike on clothing or used furniture. Once inside, they feed on humans if no pets are available. In Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona, wildlife activity increases flea risks. Our flea treatment program eliminates all life stages from your home. Schedule a flea inspection if you notice bites on ankles or see jumping insects.

QUESTION:What ticks are common in Idaho and Washington?

ANSWER:The most common ticks in Idaho and Washington are the Rocky Mountain wood tick, American dog tick, and western black-legged tick (which can carry Lyme disease). In Oregon, we also see Pacific Coast ticks. Arizona has different species including brown dog ticks. Ticks are most active spring through fall in wooded and grassy areas. They can transmit Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other illnesses. Our tick control services create barriers around your property. Protect your family with professional tick prevention.

QUESTION:How do I prevent ticks in my yard?

ANSWER:Keep grass mowed short, remove leaf litter and brush piles, create wood chip or gravel barriers between lawns and wooded areas, and discourage deer and rodents that carry ticks. Ticks thrive in tall grass and shaded areas. Regular yard maintenance reduces tick habitat significantly. For comprehensive protection, our yard tick treatments reduce tick populations by 85-95% throughout the season across Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona. We also offer pet-safe options.
